Introduction This raises several sub-questions. Who will protect the authors’ rights in the industry? Will they still be able to earn a living with their writing if publishers and agents are no longer the key players of the book industry? Who will provide a certain control in the quality of the publications? In this paper I intend first to explain the traditional ways of business transactions in the book industry as well as the traditional types and tasks of the industry’s intermediaries and gatekeepers
“Integration is a dynamic process, driven by a variety of forces and actors that, through their interactions, build and shape the institutional structure of the European Union.” This emergent political order was not an overnight, linear growth process but rather a “stop-go” system built on the steady development of a new political system with intergovernmental and supranational institutions and complex decision-making techniques. Fostered off the shared foundation for peace and unity, key integration
not based on racial discrimination but instead it had accepted associations with black trade unions. The SATLC had consisted of some black unions which had joined the organisation in the 1940s and other black unions had joined the Council of Non-European Trade Unions (CNETU) which reached one hundred and nineteen unions and one hundred and fifty-eight thousand members by 1945. The African National Congress (ANC) as well as the South African Communist Party (SACP) had wanted the African Mine Worker’s
Providing Teenagers Contraceptives in High Schools is the Next Step "Approximately four million teens get a sexually transmitted disease every year" (Scripps 1). Today’s numbers of sexually active teens differ greatly from that of just a few years ago. Which in return, projects that not only the risk of being infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) has risen, but the actual numbers of those infected rise each year as well. These changes have not gone unnoticed. In fact have produced
“You’re intelligent and can benefit our country greatly. Wait, you’re a Chinese person? Return to your country, you repulsive, vile, and monstrous alien.” While this interaction isn’t a literal quote from the United States to the Chinese during the late 1800s, many Chinese immigrants were still treated as inferior to their immigrant counterparts. The influx of Chinese immigration to the United States began after the California Gold Rush in 1848. Eventually, the Chinese population, partially responsible
multi-national state with over 185 different ethnic groups. The populations of these groups vary enormously. Russians take up about 80.9% of the population. The second highest ethnic population is the Tartars, which take up just 3.4% of Russia. The ethnic groups go down in size from there. The top five ethnic groups in Russia are the Russians, Tartars, Ukrainians, Bashkirs, and Chuvashs. Among the 85 subjects, which constitute Russia, there are 21 national republics, which are meant to be home to a specific ethnic
During a time when all pieces of mail were inspected meticulously, the missionaries in China sent a letter back home that said: “The ‘this I know’ people are doing okay”. Detecting nothing suspicious about the letter, the Chinese authority let it go right through. As a Christian and an American, I cannot imagine living without the freedom to discuss my relationship with the Lord, or to live freely in a place where I can daily express my patriotism for my country. During the era of Mikhail Gorbachev
Europe is one of the largest economic zones in the world and has tremendous influence within global economics and politics. The European Union was created to promote peace throughout a region that has been plagued by wars for all modern and ancient history. There is growing discontent towards the Union in recent years, the United Kingdom has voted to leave the Union through efforts from and candidates in member countries have pledged to leave the Union once in power. The future of the Union is in
Switzerland What is the general view of retirement in Switzerland? Demographics have changed quickly for Switzerland as its retirement population increases and estimated to continue the trend going forward. Similar to other European countries Switzerland’s retirement program is pillared, what has made the difference in this country is the diversification within each retirement component limiting the effect and avoiding global market and local economy hardships. The uncertainties still lay ahead
heavily with the idea of globalization. Globalization, in essence, is the interaction, collaboration, and sometimes even conflict, between people of different nations; soccer embodies this idea heavily. For instance, in 1904, seven European nations founded the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), creating the foundation for the behemoth of an organization that it is today (McMahon 11/8/2016). The idea behind the association was to have a governmental body that could control and
